Hi,
this you can easily achieve with existing "things"
1. css classes "no-bottom" and "no-question"
2.  varLengthArray script
3. "Array filter" to reuse - or "subquestion relevance"



And the selected ones in a following question

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply and for sharing the suggestion using the no-bottom / no-question CSS classes together with the varLengthArray script.
I’m not a developer myself, so if it does not take too much of your time, would you mind explaining the method step by step, or providing a small example showing how to implement it?
I would also like to confirm two important points for our project:

Is this workaround fully compatible with LimeSurvey Cloud (Version 6.16.12)?
Since we are using LimeSurvey Cloud, we do not have access to custom JavaScript inside questions, so I want to make sure this solution can be applied in this environment.

Can the values entered in the dynamically added “Other” fields be reused later as individual answer options in multiple‑choice questions, and multiple text fields?

Your help is greatly appreciated, and any additional guidance or example would be extremely helpful for us.
Thank you again for your time and support.

Hi,
you should send the lss export of a small prototype where you want to insert this feature.
Please, ease our life and provide it.

Also, could you confirm whether the collected answers can be reused in matrix‑type questions, multiple‑choice questions, or text‑entry fields?

This is built-in.
Please, read the manual about ExpressionScript and study the provided sample surveys
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScript_sample_surveys/en [/url]
e.g. "Cascading array filters"

Joffm

I saw that you asked the same question in the French part. 
Now you should decide where you want to continue.
We all do not appreciate such double posts.

We all do this work on a voluntary base.
And it is really annoying to find out that - after you have struggled to find a solution and gave an annswer - there already was an answer - maybe a similar or the same - in another part of the forum.

Hi Joffm,Thank you for your reply. I’ll get back to you with the LSS export as soon as I can.Also, my apologies for the double post. I’m not very familiar with this type of forum and only realized afterward that there was a French section. To avoid duplicates, I will end my request in the French part of the forum.
